Fighting Modern Day Slavery with CrossFit

Reppin’ for a cause.

One of the most badass parts about the CrossFit community is its drive to help others, and Reps For Rescue is doing just that.

What is it?

It’s a WOD that affiliates all over can host on their home turf. Proceeds go straight to the International Justice Mission — an organization dedicated to protecting poor from violence (like modern-day slavery and sex trafficking) in the developing world.

This year the flagship event will be held on Super Bowl Saturday (Feb. 3) to highlight the increase in sex trafficking activity around major sporting events at Timberwolf CrossFit in St. Paul. More than 100 arrests were made in Houston, TX last year related to prostitution.

Tell me more.

So far Reps For Rescue has raised more than $40,000 since 2016, which has directly supported missions to rescue men, women and children enslaved. And you can get your box involved to help support this cause.
